The Prosperous Tang Dynasty: Starting by Marrying Yang Yuhuan

I really don't think a modern loser who travels back in time without a system or any superpowers could achieve anything in ancient times. These people have spent their whole lives in the political arena; how could they possibly be unable to handle a modern loser who has never even been involved in politics?

Having followed the updates so far, I suggest the author avoid writing a harem novel where the protagonist falls in love with every woman they meet and takes them all in. Ideally, the harem should not exceed five people! Why? Firstly, harem novels are inherently difficult to write, as they rely on the three essential elements of a novel: characters, plot, and setting.

Li Sanlang was able to kill three sons in one day. He had no choice but to rely on his ancestral skill of the Xuanwu Gate Massacre. In the Tang Dynasty, if you wanted to rise to power, you had to be ruthless and decisive. You couldn't afford to be even a little bit merciful. Consort Wu and Uncle Guang Li Chen were both outstanding examples.

I just want to know, what's the point of time-traveling to Li Mao? If Emperor Xuanzong wants to take your wife, what will you use to resist?

It's so good! The protagonist is incredibly intelligent. As a strong contender for the crown prince position, he travels with as many as five people on his annual journeys: two women, a coachman, and a martial arts expert. That's way too many people. Given the protagonist's intelligence and skill, he really didn't need to bring the martial arts expert.

A while ago, there was this guy named Jing Shenbing who also wore the same costume as the main character. Do you know what he did? He wanted to refuse to marry Yang Guifei 😰 It's really ridiculous.

The author portrays the protagonist as a terminally ill prince in officialdom and also enjoys writing about him recruiting talent. Don't be ridiculous. Who in the political arena would turn to a patient who's barely hanging on to tomorrow?

If it were Yang Guifei's husband, there really wouldn't be much way to avoid being cuckolded, unless he were Superman. Li Longji was the kind of person who killed three sons in a single day, and the princes were all kept in captivity, unlike the princes of the early Tang Dynasty who had a much more carefree life. Before An Lushan's rebellion, he really had absolutely no chance.

The problem was solved by beheading Yang Guifei.

In reality, the correct approach would be to frame Yang Yuhuan after the marriage, demoting her status to that of a lowly concubine and confining her to the mansion. This way, the protagonist wouldn't need to bring her to the palace, and Li Longji wouldn't be able to see Yang Yuhuan. This is the most reasonable course of action for an average time-traveler.
